<h2>Version 1.3 supports Atom 0.3</h2>
<p class="dateheader"><a title="permanent link to &quot;Version 1.3 supports Atom 0.3&quot;" href="http://feedvalidator.org/news/archives/2003/12/13/version_13_supports_atom_03.html">05:59 AM on Saturday, December 13, 2003</a></p>
<div class="newsbody">
<p><a href="http://feedvalidator.org/download/feedvalidator-1.3.zip">Version 1.3</a> supports <a href="http://www.mnot.net/drafts/draft-nottingham-atom-format-02.html">Atom 0.3 working draft</a>.  It no longer supports Atom 0.1, 0.2, or the unofficial 0.2.1.  Old Atom feeds will fail with an "ObsoleteVersion" or "ObsoleteNamespace" error.</p>

<p>This release also features better validation for <code>urn:</code> and <code>tag:</code> URIs, which are commonly used in <code>&lt;id&gt;</code> elements in Atom feeds.</p>

<p>There was one behavioral change to the RSS validation in this release.  Previous versions of the Feed Validator would attempt to flag relative URLs within <code>&lt;description&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;content:encoded&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;xhtml:body&gt;</code>.  This rule was wildly unpopular and was not supported by spec text.  It was felt at the time that the issue was important for interoperability, and that the spec would soon be updated to address it, but neither of these assumptions turned out to be true.  The check has been removed; relative URLs in those elements will no longer be flagged.</p>

<h2>Version 1.2.2</h2>
<p class="dateheader"><a title="permanent link to &quot;Version 1.2.2&quot;" href="http://feedvalidator.org/news/archives/2003/08/05/version_122.html">06:10 PM on Tuesday, August  5, 2003</a></p>
<div class="newsbody">
<p><a href="http://feeds.archive.org/validator/download/feedvalidator-1.22.zip">Version 1.2.2</a> fixes a small bug with two improperly defined error messages (they used invalid parameters), and adds an automated testing script that makes sure all messages are properly defined.
</div>
<h2>Version 1.2.1</h2>
<p class="dateheader"><a title="permanent link to &quot;Version 1.2.1&quot;" href="http://feedvalidator.org/news/archives/2003/08/05/version_121.html">04:58 PM on Tuesday, August  5, 2003</a></p>
<div class="newsbody">
<p><a href="http://feeds.archive.org/validator/download/feedvalidator-1.21.zip">Version 1.2.1</a> fixes a missing error message for <code>InvalidNamespace</code>, which is an error that can occur when a Pie/Echo/Atom feed is declared with the wrong namespace.
